term-based clinical assessment tools, students’ experience of clinical
teaching and clinical assessment. This was a descriptive,
cross-sectional study. The study population included final-year Degree

of a self-administered questionnaire using open- and closed-ended
questions.The response rate was 85% (n = 29).
